Christ-Centered Resources

jon_glennWe are a non-denominational, Christian-based foundation who will not discriminate regarding admission based on religion. However, we formed our foundation out of the love in our hearts that was extended first to us from God.

Therefore, we consider our efforts to be a ministry of love to help those who are experiencing difficulties in finding the right placement for those developmentally disabled individuals who require a greater degree of supervision than is possible in family settings or independent living.

While we are not professional counselors, we believe in open conversation and discussion with the families of those with developmental disabilities. Through this dialogue, we hope to minister to your spiritual and mental needs. We understand the stress and strain of raising and caring for developmentally challenged individuals.

“Our philosophy is to meet you where you are at, and bring you and your family to a greater sense of hope for a bright future for your developmentally challenged loved one.”

In the process, we will find the appropriate professional assistance, agency, or program to help your situation. We are also willing to assist you in finding placement for your loved one until our next group home is available.
